Paper Summary

The article discusses how duplicated code, known as code clones, can cause issues in software development. The researchers studied different techniques to find these clones and developed a tool called Siamese, which can efficiently search for code clones in large amounts of code. Siamese was found to have high precision and recall in identifying code clones, making it a valuable tool for developers to improve code quality and avoid potential problems caused by outdated or improperly licensed code snippets.
